Use .split() to break the available string apart on semi-colon(;). Assign this to a new variable sundaes. available = "Banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
available = ("banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white")
("banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white".split(";"))
sundaes = ['banana split', 'hot fudge', 'cherry', 'malted', 'black and white']
